OK all you gardeners.........

[justusnak]

Which way do you run YOUR rows?? North/South?? or East/West??
Also....do you HILL you taters? Or start them in a farrow, and add dirt as they grow to make an eventual hill??
Oh...and WHY??
LOL

I don't have a preferance my garden is East west so that is the way the rows face.

My rows go N to S on the backside of the shed. They get heavy sun up until about 4 pm. I grow my 'taters in barrells. I throw dirt and straw in on top of them as they grow. Just dump them out when they are done intead of digging

My rows are always planted perpendicular to the slope to prevent my garden soil from eroding when it rains.

My tators are planted with a shovel: Push shovel deep in soil, move forward 2 inches, drop seed potato in, pull shovel out. No farrow, no hilling. I'm a lazy potato planter, but it works!

I don't do rows...

My taters will be planted and then dirt added as they grow. Speaking of growing...let's help The Easy Garden grow. Register there. Garden talk, it's great but we need more people there to chat with!

I do my rows facing north. That way, the wind will not harm the plants too much.

 

[beekybuzzard]

My rows go east to west and the taters are hilled but just a little at a time and adding just a little straw each time to keep the soil from packing too much and letting them grow a little bigger.

I do my rows west to east. They get all day sun and I put potatoes in peel away things compost bins, cardboard boxes things like that I put them in the bottom as the plants grow you keep adding good soil. Increases yield and easy to get them at the end
